The state has a problem; it cannot solve any problem it did not create by its attempts to solve a problem. The state must exist as a threat to its subjects, before it can acquire the resources needed to combat crime. In short, the state has nothing and can do nothing that it does not take from its subjects or force its subjects to do, to itself. The police, taxation office and everything else, is extracted from the public sector and forced to operate as part of the state. The state makes itself irreplaceable by removing from its subjects, the ability to operate autonomously. It is not a matter of eliminating the state, as anarchists and libertarians suggest. The state is too embedded to do that. We need to systematically privatize everything the state has socialized.
